[Art Vandelay_]

Well I'm backing the significantly lesser of two evils. Go Canes!

 

[eth-dog]

Strikers to win.

 

[Kyptastic]

Surely Jono Dean gets a game now.

 

[John the Butcher]

Surely Jono Dean gets a game now.

Thinking this. He can't miss out now

 

[jackess]

Surely Jono Dean gets a game now.

Batted at 3 last season IIRC so I wonder if Head will open like he did in the one dayers and Dean will slot in at 3.

Another sell-out at the Adelaide Oval...hats off to sports fans in South Australia...very impressive

It's a pity CA don't recognise this and give us more International ODIs . Attendance wise, the Brisbane and Perth tests aren't supported very well yet they always get International ODIs.

It's a shame to say this but I think Perth Tests will soar back into popularity once we move into the new stadium.

You know what they say CC, 'build it, and they will come'. I can sympathise with your post, however, the WACA isn't the most 'comfortable' venue when it comes to watching test cricket during the summer.

Sangakarra to finally play a blinder and Hobart to win.

 

[HBF]

Bit of rain around Adelaide at the moment. Looks like it will be gone before the 1st ball is bowled (hopefully).

 

[jackess]

I thought Kingston was rubbish in his first game. I wouldn't mind West getting a game.

Well Adelaide do love a winner

 

[madmug]

Lucky the EFC thing hit yesterday. Most BF punters would have been busy focusing & commenting on that, not on the BBL game

 

[ioppolo]

Mahela injured?

 

[Bucking Beads]

Hobart to get up here I think

 

[Pugsley]

Mahela injured?

Yes. How many wides for Tait ?

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Thank goodness BBL is back on

 

[Smartys Power]

Maybe Hodge opens tonight? Head at 3, Dean at 4?

 

[Carbine Chaos]

I think Hodge is too important in the middle order. Can enter in a variety of circumstances and perform.

 

[Righteo]

Sangakarra to finally play a blinder and Hobart to win.

Yes please.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Come on Strikers

 

[Aussie_boy]

Sangakarra to finally play a blinder and Hobart to win.

This is my thinking too, as well as Ben Dunk also being due. Wouldn't surprise me at all if the Canes win.
